Looked at hairdryers but most seem to be smaller DC motors. but need to find one with limited airflow, and brushed motor. I've been thinking about hooking a small vacuums motor via pvc pipe up to it somehow. Cast aluminum vs paper thin aluminum body.
Ceramic heater vs mica paper wrapped heater. these are built extremely well compared to even the next generation which was built in the late 80s. the roaster is exactly what I'm using it for too. i cut through at least 10 wires on the windings. That wasn't me posting, but i did almost the exact same thing. I saw a discussion on a roaster forum where someone else was looking for just a motor for one of these and wasn't having any luck finding one, (they drilled a cooling hole thru the popper and ran the drill bit into the motor windings - that wasn't you by any chance was it, the hole in the front?). Just out of curiosity, what's the hole in the front of the popper for, (the place just in front of the word "POPPERY" that should say "THE")?ĭid you check E-bay? There are tons of them for sale there: - they do seem a little expensive for used poppers but that seems to be because they are in depend as coffee roasters and also because of there close to 5lb weight they all seem to want around $15 to ship, some over $20 shipping.
If you didn't already check the thermal fuse, (the part in the clear plastic tube in front on the motor picture), I'm pretty sure that would complete kill power to the motor. Is the motor completely dead? Did you check continuity on the windings and check the brushes to see that they are not worn out?
